According to Kyra Bobinet, a physician who also holds a master's degree in public health and specializes in behavior neuroscience design, people must match their resolutions to how their brains work.

Bobinet will explain:

  • The five brain areas everyone should know about before making a New Year's resolution
  • How to apply brain science to eating healthier and exercising more
  • Why "it takes 21 days to make a new habit" is wrong
  • Why relapse is good, not bad

  • Which types of goals are failure makers and motivation killers
  • The brain science recipe for long-term success
